They Call Her Blessed!


Enjoy the e-gallery of Betty Slade and her paintings of the "Women of the Wind Series". This collection of paintings are the impressionist Southwest women seen through the eyes of Proverbs. Also there will be added southwest landscapes and adobes.

Dedicated to My Son Stephen,
A Leader of men, a server of tables, and full of the Holy Spirit. My charge to you is that you lead with wisdom, serve with kindness and walk in the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
Then you will complete your name, Stephenos, a crowning glory.

My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not forsake the law of your mother -- for they will be an ornament of grace on your head, and chains about your neck.

Proverbs 1:8,9

Many of the Proverbs and Wisdom have been written in the female voice. This is wisdom that King Solomon acquired sitting at the feet of his mother. Her endearing name for him was King Lemuel, and the utterance which his mother taught him is found in the Proverbs thirty-one Woman.

Lemuel means devoted to God. So is this group of paintings with words from the King and defined in the heart of the artist, Betty Slade

He concludes his proverbs with the portrait of the Proverbs thirty-one Woman. He recognizes the attributes of a godly woman; her beauty can not be compared but excels beyond the many daughters who have done well, and her husband and her children will call her blessed.

Magenta Morning in New Mexico

I Wisdom will teach you to be generous. As you give, you get. It might not come in like kind but life will come to you as you open your hand and feed others. When you withhold it leads to poverty.

Magenta Morning in New Mexico

Gallery Tour - The Lord is so generous to wake us to magenta skies. This northern New Mexico home is alive in color. This painting was painted on a 300# watercolor paper and is done in oils. It is also a part of the Santa Fe Experience Series.

Re-Stringing Pearls You are very generous my Son. I see your heart and it is full of kindness and caring for your employees. In the end it is not about how much gold you have acquired but how much you gave.  I will never be rich in this world's riches, but I am rich in friendships and treasures in heaven. It will never compute in the world's eyes, but we do not live for recognizition from the world, but from the Lord. He is very pleased. He is keeping our riches safe.

Words Solomon learned at His mother's knee

Proverbs 11:22-27

As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, so is a lovely woman who lacks discretion. The desire of the righteous is only good, but the expectation of the wicked is wrath. There is one who scatters, yet increases more; and there is one  who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty. The generous soul will be made rich. and he who waters will also be watered himself. The people will curse him who witholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
